The shocking truth

Imagine for a moment a world where
talent was met with success. The most talented photographer in the world
would be the most successful. It’s only fair after all that the most
skilled has the most success, right? Well, no. This world we are talking
about is called Lala land and does not exist. Here’s the shocking truth
about Photographic Success.

The Shocking Truth
The best kept secret, the shocking truth about success in photography is
that talent has very little to do with it. The beautiful lie, but a lie
nonetheless is that If you are talented, you’ll make it big. I wish it
was true, but fact is, business and marketing trump talent at a rate
that talent is a non issue in my opinion.

This surely is good news for some, but for most others, who actually
work hard are their craft it’s downright depressing. It should be the
other way around, no? Those who polish themselves, actually doing the
work should get the recognition, no? Well, no. It’s not about what you
do, it’s how you sell yourself.
